Electrolyte powders have always been about minerals. Adding functional mushrooms is newer, and it adds a functional ingredient blend to a daily drink. Here is what each of the six mushrooms in Hydrate Heroes® is traditionally used for, and why they fit a daily hydration routine.
The six mushrooms in Electrolibrium™ Technology
Lion's Mane
Hericium erinaceus. A shaggy white mushroom with a long place in traditional wellness routines and in cooking.
Reishi
Ganoderma lucidum. A woody mushroom with a long history in traditional wellness systems.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps militaris. A mushroom traditionally included in daily wellness routines.
Shiitake
Lentinula edodes. One of the most widely eaten culinary mushrooms in the world.
Turkey Tail
Trametes versicolor. A banded mushroom long used in traditional wellness routines.
King Trumpet
Pleurotus eryngii. A meaty culinary mushroom that rounds out the six-mushroom blend.
Why pair mushrooms with electrolytes?
Hydration is a daily habit. Most people drink something flavored during the day anyway. If that drink can also deliver minerals and a functional mushroom blend, it replaces a sugary soda or a salty sports drink with something more purposeful.
The key is the dose and transparency. The Electrolibrium™ Mushroom Blend in Hydrate Heroes® is listed on the Supplement Facts panel at 1,020mg, with each mushroom named by its Latin and common name. You can see exactly what is in the stick.
What the research says — and does not say
Mushroom research is promising but early. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), part of the NIH, notes that mushroom research is still early and that supplements are not a substitute for medical care. We describe traditional use only and make no health claims for any mushroom.
